This book was sort of a redemption. It was much better than some of the previous books were. Maybe it was the way the book was structured. Maybe it was the military lingo that was in a part of the book that made me think of the years Jake was in the Army. Maybe it was just a better story. Either way, it was a good book.

Tempe is investigating the death of a teenage girl killed in a hit and run and left to die o the side of the road. While that case stagnates (she's unknown, with little hinting as to her origins), she's sent to Afghanistan to examine the bodies of two Afghanis killed by a Marine lieutenant. He's on trial for their deaths, based on whether or not he killed the unarmed men while they were running towards him or away from him.

Tempe ends up in a sordid investigation that somehow ties the dead teenager to the dead men in Afghanistan. It was enthralling. I definitely enjoyed this most recent installment of the Tempe books. Now I have to wait for the next book to be released.
